We are very proud to present our Social Return On Investment report version 2017.
Our collaborator and Sponsor Lind Invest have launched the very first SROI report for us.
SROI is a ratio to analyse return on investment in terms or economic goals and equally important - the social impact.
We are beyond pleased to share our results. A lot of things have happened during the past year. We have worked very hard reach our goals. Our work led to a very high return on the invested capital. You can read more about in our report.
The report is not only showing that what we are doing is beneficial but it has changed the life of many women. The woman and their local communities are benefiting from each danish kroner that have been invested.
We are looking forward to follow this positive trend for the future.

Expo is the most significant annual health and social care event in the calendar, uniting more NHS and care leaders, commissioners, clinicians, voluntary sector partners, innovators and media than any other health and care event.
Expo 15 returned to Manchester and was hosted once again by NHS England. Around 5000 people a day from health and care, the voluntary sector, local government, and industry joined together at Manchester Central Convention Centre for two packed days of speakers, workshops, exhibitions and professional development.
This year, Expo was more relevant and engaging than ever before, happening within the first 100 days of the new Government, and almost 12 months after the publication of the NHS Five Year Forward View. It was also a great opportunity to check on and learn from the progress of Greater Manchester as the area prepares to take over a £6 billion devolved health and social care budget, pledging to integrate hospital, community, primary and social care and vastly improve health and well-being.
